I debated on just lumping a lot of films together into a category of “I liked them just fine,” which would encompass most of what I watched this year really. This would certainly be at the top of that list though. It wasn’t the first film by a wide margin, but amongst all the other superhero releases of the year, this is one of the ones that stood out as deserving better than it got.
Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves
Maybe the most surprised I was at the movies this year. I loved every goofy, sentimental second of this movie.
Super Mario Bros.
There was so much anticipation and anxiety about this movie, and not just from me. While this year really did seem to break the curse of Bad Video Game Adaptations for film and TV, for me this one is just a small blip on that radar and only qualifies because it isn’t BAD. It just also isn’t that good.

I honestly forgot this even came out in 2023. If you forgot what the world wanted you to believe 1980 was, this may be worth the time, but if you’re looking for insights to #23, this ain’t it.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods
